Hendrik le Roux is sentenced to three years in prison for fraud. It doesn't take long to realise that the world inside prison is every bit as corrupt as the world outside. How long will he be able to withstand the pressures and scheming of gang leaders Priester and Pappa, arch-scoundrel Skollie and backstabbing Polka?

There’s great excitement about the annual boxing tournament, which presents inmates with the perfect opportunity for all sorts of smuggling activities. When his plotting with Tiger goes wrong, Pappa is furious.

Tiger and Skollie are planning an escape. They come across a stash of dagga in a steel pipe. Pappa and Priester put Polka under pressure to find the missing drugs. They suspect Le Roux and decide to teach him a lesson: first he gets assaulted in the shower, then a file is planted in his cell.

It seems that Polka’s trap for Gerrie Prinsloo is working. Skollie and Tiger realise that the outcome of the boxing match, as well as the disappearance of Polka and Pappa’s dagga, have created lots of trouble for them.

Skollie is trying to find out who revealed their hiding place to the police. Hendrik le Roux’s wife is worried about his state of mind. Tiger escapes from hospital.

Tiger hides with Skollie’s brother, and Skollie escapes again.

Finale. The head of the prison is furious about Skollie’s escape and after a wild chase, Tiger and Skollie are brought back to prison once again. Hendrik, Priester and Polka also try to escape, but Hendrik surrenders and Polka is captured.
